Q: I have recently bought a piece of land in ferdendina beach ( Old nassuaville road ) it is an open rural plot of land .
I planned on building a 3 bay detached garage first to allow me to store furnishings from my house in jacksonville cost savings there will be a fair amount if I can do this , I am being told I cannot do that the house needs to be built first . the first question I asked after being told that was suppose thats all I want to build ? well no real reply to that ? so I am pretty confused about this question I posed to the engineering dept !
A: Depending on the local zoning code, a stand-alone garage may not be a permitted use. See about getting a building permit for the house and garage, and simply build the garage as the first phase of the plan. The permit might require you to complete the entire project (house and garage) within a certain time.
